Twisted Nerve
by: Be Your Own PetYou are a chainsaw through my heart
Rippin' right through me from the start
You make me go crazy all night long
I need you so bad, I know it's gotta be wrong
You get on my nerves
You make me so mad
It's times like these that I just can't stand
You're so far away, I can't hurt you now
I guess I'll just use myself like I know how
Rip out my hair
Wish that it's yours
Cut my own skin
Pretend that it's yours
Call you up in tears
Then you'll take back all the things that you said
And we can be ourselves once again
Goddamn how you make me scream and shout
I don't wanna run around my room and pout
But you make me do it
And I can't hardly stand it
You've got my heart
You know you've always had it
But now you're so far away
And there's no way to make you pay
So I'll go around my room and break anything I want
And in my head imagine breaking your heart
Rip out my hair
Wish that it's yours
Cut my own skin
Pretend that it's yours
Call you up in tears
You're such a tease
You're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
You're such a tease
You're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
You're such a tease
You're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
You're such a tease
You're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
And we can be ourselves once again
You are a chainsaw through my heart
Rippin' right through me from the start
You make me go crazy all night long
I need you so bad, I know it's gotta be wrong
You get on my nerves
You make me so mad
It's times like these that I just can't stand
You're so far away, and I can't hurt you now
